Taking Chances by Celine Dion is featured in Preggers, the fourth episode of Season One. It is sung by Rachel as her audition for the school musical, Cabaret.

Sandy tells Sue about his plans to lure Rachel away from the New Directions by directing a school production of Cabaret. This was so that they would fail at both Sectionals and Regionals. The plans for Rachel to leave Glee Club eventually succeed, as Rachel promptly signs up for an audition, singing this song and earning herself the lead role.

Lyrics

Rachel:
Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world but
Don't want to be alone tonight
On this planet they call earth

You don't know about my past
And I don't have a future figured out
And maybe this is going too fast
And maybe it's not meant to last

But what do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?

I just want to start again
Maybe you could show me how to try
Maybe you could take me in
Somewhere underneath your skin

What do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down
But I always come back for more, yeah
There's nothing like love to pull you up
When you're lying down on the floor there
So talk to me, talk to me
Like lovers do
Yeah walk with me, walk with me
Like lovers do
Like lovers do

What do you say to taking chances?
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?

Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world

Trivia

At the end of the sequence, Sandy says 'Wow' and Rachel replies with 'What's next?' which is the same passage of speech heard at the end of Celine Dion's video for the song.

The backing track for this song is used during the Sue's Corner segment at the end of the episode.
